Novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) has been the focus of the medical community since its emergence in December 2019 and has already infected more than 100 million patients globally. Primarily described to cause a respiratory illness, COVID-19 has been found to affect almost every organ system. Bradycardia is a newly recognized ramification of COVID-19 that still has unknown prognostic value. Studies have shown an increase in the incidence of arrhythmias, cardiomyopathies, myocarditis, acute coronary syndromes, and coagulopathies in infected patients as well as an increased risk of mortality in patients with preexisting cardiovascular disease. While the pathogenesis of bradycardia in COVID-19 may be multifactorial, clinicians should be aware of the mechanism by which COVID-19 affects the cardiovascular system and the medication side effects which are used in the treatment algorithm of this deadly virus. There has yet to be a comprehensive review analyzing bradyarrhythmia and relative bradycardia in COVID-19 infected patients. We aim to provide a literature review including the epidemiology, pathogenesis, and management of COVID-19 induced bradyarrhythmia.

Objective: As the COVID-19 pandemic presented new challenges for businesses and worker safety and health, an interdisciplinary team launched the COVID-19 Worksite Impact Survey to assess COVID-19-related impacts and responses at small and medium businesses in 10 North Carolina counties.
Methods: We collected data from October 2 to December 1, 2020, and analyzed survey results to evaluate businesses' operational changes, concerns, needs, pandemic preparedness, workplace health promotion programming, and infection control practices.
Results: Most businesses, including essential ones, were inadequately prepared for the pandemic and did not implement the most effective COVID-19 infection control practices.

Objective: This cross-sectional study examined the impact of family cohabitation status and work-from-home (WFH) on sleep during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: An online survey of 27,036 Japanese workers assessed WFH frequency, family cohabitation, and trouble sleeping to estimate odds ratios (OR) for sleep problems from December 22 to 26, 2020.
Results: In multivariate analysis, WFH had no significant benefit for trouble sleeping ≥3 months.

Background: Young patients aged 16 to 25 years with type 1 diabetes (T1D) often encounter challenges related to deteriorating disease control and accelerated complications. Mobile apps have shown promise in enhancing self-care among youth with diabetes. However, inconsistent findings suggest that further evidence is necessary to confirm the effectiveness of app-based interventions.
